Disasters can strike often and with unexpected fury, resulting in
devastating consequences for local populations that are
insufficiently prepared and largely dependent upon foreign aid in
the wake of such catastrophes. International law can play a
significant role in the recovery after inevitable natural
disasters; however, without clear legal frameworks, aid may be
stopped, delayed, or even hijacked placing the intended suffering
recipients in critical condition. This edited volume brings
together experts, emerging scholars, and practitioners in the field
of international disaster law from North America, Japan, New
Zealand, and Australia to analyze the evolution of international
disaster law as a field that encompasses new ideas about human
rights, sovereignty, and technology. Chapters focus on specific
natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, Cyclone Nargis, and
Typhoon Hainan in addition to volcanic and earthquake activity,
wildfires, and desertification. This book begins a dialogue on the
profound implications of the evolution of international law as a
tool for disaster response."
